The landmark first album by this legendary 70s soul group. The style here is a pronounced gospel influence that focuses most strongly on the chorus vocals of the ensemble - soaring out with a tremendously soulful feel, and really updating an older sound for a more contemporary 70s vibe! Backing is relatively stripped-down, with piano by Patti Brown, organ by Richard Tee, guitar by Cornell Dupree, bass by Chuck Rainey, and congas from Montego Joe and Ralph MacDonald. The album's easily one of the most righteous efforts issued by Elektra at the time. This amazing reissue also features a 11 bonus tracks - including a number of previously unissued titles recorded with production by Donny Hathaway! Killer album, don't miss it.
